The size of the hole at the back of the toilet where the water drains out is some engineer's estimation of the maximum size of something that they think could come out of your butt.

Instructions unclear, flushed the plunger

[-] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure that's determined by the bend radius actually haha

[-] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago

Nah, When you flush, the shit goes somewhere.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 22 points 2 years ago

Some of what you flush is sprayed back up out of the bowl if you don't close the lid. Much like Hawking Radiation.

[-] Lmaydev@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago

Closing the lid doesn't help. And in fact all houses are covered in a thin layer of shit particles.

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

Technically known as sharticles

I get the feeling closing the lid has the same effect as putting your thumb on top of a hose...

[-] Lmaydev@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago

Yeah it's microscopic particles so unless your toilet lid is airtight it just pushes them further out the side.

We got over a hundred bags of human waste on the moon, what's ya point?

Take my upvote and go look it up.

[-] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

what’s ya point?

The shit gets reused and still exists in the environment/universe.

The opposite of matter entering a singularity.

[-] MrPoopyButthole@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Go read about the holographic principle. Also most scientists don't think singularities actually exist. Infinities pop up where our math doesn't make sense anymore.

[-] Lmaydev@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Toilets don't destroy waste they just send it down a pipe.

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

If that's the case then OP's mom is like the porta potty trailer of the universe

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Tossing upvotes down the line LOL!

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
